London - Two suspects in the American embassy bombing in Kenya were yesterday sent for trial in the US, where they could face the death penalty. The move came as senior UK police sources said that London and other major cities offer a "target-rich environment" for terrorist groups planning a holy war against Americans around the world.
Mr Khalid Salim, believed to be a Yemeni, was flown from Nairobi to New York by the FBI and appeared before a judge on 12 counts of murder, conspiracy to murder and possessing weapons of mass destruction. The other man, Mr Mohammed Saddiq Howaidah, was arrested in Pakistan on the day of the bombing.
